### Chapter 55: Xia Yu’s Weapons
Just as the saying goes, “Fear what you get.” No sooner had they got on the vehicle than Xia Yu and Xia Ling were being stared at by the villagers and their children.
There was no helping it; who wouldn’t love something beautiful? So it’s not strange at all that cute little Xia Yu and Xia Ling were noticed when they got on the vehicle, especially since the villagers were curious—wasn’t Xia Yu supposed to be a boy? Why was she wearing women’s clothes?
During this time, as expected, Wang Wenjuan, the mother of all these kids, was questioned by the villagers. Just like when she came, she awkwardly laughed it off because she really couldn’t bring herself to answer those questions.
Of course, the most awkward one wasn’t Wang Wenjuan, but Xia Yu herself. She was the center of the conversation, especially when people looked at her with strange eyes. That was just too much for her.
But thankfully, soon enough, the large tricycle carried the passengers back to the village, rescuing Xia Yu from an uncomfortable situation once again.
That night, since they all needed to prepare for school in the morning, the students had to pack their things in advance. Things like pens and notebooks needed to be packed up earlier.
Earlier, while on the way to town, Xia Yu bought a watch worth five yuan. It was a light green one that fit her delicate left wrist perfectly. Only Xia Yu knew how important this watch was to her.
Indeed, every time Xia Yu was bullied at school, she always faced the attacks and fought back. Therefore, this watch could also be considered her protective wristlet weapon, deflecting blows or hitting back.
Though using it that way may sound somewhat foolish, it was highly effective. Anyone who hit her watch would feel pain, and she used the watch-covered wrist to deliver some decent blows as well.
With school starting, Xia Yu naturally had to be prepared. She wanted to ward off anyone who still liked to bully her, after all, her experience with getting hit by a toy g*n last New Year Day was still vivid and painful.
Yes, perhaps parents might think schools were very peaceful places, thanks to teachers keeping an eye on everything. What problems could there be?
But anyone who had been through it knew that school was a miniature society. Teachers couldn’t watch everyone all the time, or else there wouldn’t be such a thing as school bullying.
She’d experienced violence, threats, deception, betrayal, and ostracism over the years. This made her grow considerably stronger.
Once she tidied up, Xia Yu put her backpack away and set her alarm clock. Then, she flopped onto her bed to rest.
Indeed, because she needed to go to school early next morning, her mother Wang Wenjuan didn’t allow any of them to stay up late. So, watching TV for a little while or anything else was out of the question.
The next morning, Xia Yu woke up to the sound of her alarm clock she set up. Then, she began changing out of her pretty clothes.
Yes, knowing she had to go to school, she wouldn’t dare to wear dresses. Instead, she changed into her old, slightly worn-out boyish clothes.
As for dresses, Xia Yu decided it was best to wear them only at home. Outside, she wouldn’t be bombarded with questions.
Even so, when changing, Xia Yu made sure to tie up her long, beautiful hair. Otherwise, having long hair loose would be comfortable at first, but it would become annoying after a while.
